Description
Over the years there have been several books and hundreds of articles and reports on safety, with more than three dozen journals and newsletters in English alone on this subject. Unlike other books, however, Safety Assessment gathers together vital information and presents a unified approach to current quantitative safety assessment. Previous knowledge of this subject is not necessary, since two chapters on introductory material are provided to give sufficient background. All chapters discuss topics of current interest.
This book is excellent as a text for elective courses on safety for science, business, and engineering students. It is also an indispensable guide for engineers and professionals in industrial ergonomics, operations management, and production.
